Of course you are correct: "This job expansion has nothing to do with cutting taxes." The VA wouldn't pay any taxes. I’m pleased to hear of more VA jobs in the state. Of course you are correct:

Don't tell me that, right when I was thinking of starting a business! I mean, we've already bought a house in the dreaded City of Milwaukee. What a fool I am for even thinking of starting a business here! Oh noes! Don’t tell me that, right when I was thinking of starting a business!

In other good job news, the VA will be adding 220 jobs in the Madison area as part of its consolidation of billing and collection units from around the Midwest. As the article says "The new facility is expected to open in the late summer or fall of 2010 and will consolidate offices in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin." This job expansion has nothing to do with cutting taxes.

Republic could receive up to $27 million in Wisconsin tax credits through 2021 if it follows its plans to maintain and create jobs." In otherwords, if you cut taxes on businesses will come. But isn't that what the Republican's have argued? Perhaps if we cut our tax rates and tax less than other states more businesses will come? Certainly great news, but here’s the key:
